Exuberance<br />

rubeLL fAMILY CoLLeCTIon<br />

With this volume and its accompanying<br />

exhibition, the rubell Family Collection<br />

set out to generate a portrait of<br />

what they call “american exuberance.”<br />

the 64 artists selected, all citizens or<br />

residents of the United States, are or<br />

were particularly keen observers of<br />

american culture, economy and politics,<br />

regardless of their country of origin.<br />

out of 190 total works, 40 were<br />

made in 2011, many specifically for this<br />

exhibition. participating artists include<br />

matthew Barney, maurizio Cattelan,<br />

Felix gonzáles-torres, Wade guyton,<br />

Keith Haring, mike Kelley, Jeff Koons,<br />

Barbara Kruger, glenn Ligon, elizabeth<br />

peyton, richard prince, ryan trecartin,<br />

andy Warhol and Lisa<br />

Yuskavage. a number of the participating<br />

artists were asked to comment on<br />

the idea of american exuberance for<br />

the catalogue. their responses took<br />

many forms, from nate Lowman’s<br />

handwritten missive about Coca-Cola<br />

to rashid Johnson’s statement in the<br />

form of a personal ad.<br />

edited by Jonah freeman and vera<br />

neykov.<br />

Spanning several generations, from<br />

Dada to the present, Blind Cut explores<br />

notions surrounding the themes of<br />

fiction and deception. Questions<br />

regarding identity, authorship,<br />

originality and reality are posed in<br />

a range of methodologies, including<br />

depictions of fictional places, imagined<br />

personas, inaccurate histories and<br />

invented language. this book documents<br />

marlborough Chelsea’s 2012<br />

exhibition of the same name and<br />

expands upon its core themes<br />

with ancillary texts and ephemera,<br />

including interviews and other written<br />

works by alex Waterman, J.g. Ballard,<br />

richard prince, James Frey, pierre<br />

Huyge and philippe parreno, the<br />

John Fare estate, the anabel vale<br />

fontaine, et al.<br />

In 1914, marcel Duchamp purchased a<br />

bottle rack, called it a sculpture, put his<br />

name to it and the “readymade” artwork<br />

was born. It Is What It Is. Or Is It?<br />

considers the legacy of the readymade<br />

in contemporary artistic practice as<br />

the form approaches its 100th anniversary<br />

and attempts to recuperate the<br />

radicality of Duchamp’s foundational<br />

gesture. taking stock of the readymade’s<br />

simple materiality and its economy<br />

of means, this catalogue includes<br />

work by 18 artists working in a variety<br />

of media from sculpture to photography,<br />

painting, video and installationbased<br />

works. It Is What It Is. Or Is It?<br />

The Fertile Crescent<br />

Gender, Art, and Society<br />

ruTGers unIversITY InsTITuTe for woMen And ArT<br />

edited and with text by Judith k. brodsky, ferris olin. Text by Margot badran, kelly baum, Gilane Tawardros.<br />

The Fertile Crescent examines the work of 24 women artists of middle east heritage: negar ahkami (Iranian), Shiva ahmadi<br />

(Iranian), Jananne al-ani (Iraqi), Fatima and monira al Qadiri (Kuwaiti), ghada amer (egyptian), Zeina Barakeh (Lebanese),<br />

ofri Cnaani (Israeli), nezaket ekici (turkish), Diana el Jeiroudi (Syrian), parastou Forouhar (Iranian), ayana Friedman<br />

(Israeli), Shadi ghadirian (Iranian), mona Hatoum (palestinian), Hayv Kahraman (Iraqi), efrat Kedem (Israeli), Sigalit Landau<br />

(Israeli), ariane Littman (Israeli), Shirin neshat (Iranian), ebru Özseçen (turkish), Laila Shawa (palestinian), Shahzia Sikander<br />

(pakistani), Fatimah tuggar (nigerian) and nil Yalter (turkish). these artists all explore matters of gender, homeland,<br />

geopolitics, theology and the environment. the authors in this volume address transnationalism and the interaction between<br />

muslim culture and Jewish, Christian and euro-american cultures, resulting in U.S. and european relationships that are<br />

sometimes congenial and at other times problematic. the book also addresses the middle east’s cultural diaspora in black<br />

africa and South asia. The Fertile Crescent is published in conjunction with a fall 2012 multi-venue exhibition at rutgers and<br />

princeton Universities and the arts Council of princeton/paul robeson Center for the arts.<br />
